Gjoa Haven Airport

Gjoa Haven Airport opened in the early 1970s and today operates a single small terminal serving this remote Nunavut community, with a gravel runway that handles turboprops and medevac flights. As a compact regional facility it’s essential for passenger travel, cargo and emergency services linking Gjoa Haven to larger hubs like Cambridge Bay and Yellowknife via scheduled connections. The airport is a short drive from the hamlet with local taxis and community shuttles typically handling transfers; there’s no formal rapid transit. Service is provided by northern regional carriers such as Canadian North and Calm Air, and fares are generally higher than southern routes due to the remote Arctic location.
